imo a subscription service is far more ethical than the current model. Its a very straightforward transaction. Now I have to convert real money to a fake currency (in set amounts of their choosing), purchase a pack of some kind, and gamble my way to a new pointless cosmetic item.

I know you don’t mean to support them. But personally, I think your tolerance is unnecessary at best and harmful at worst. I want to cultivate a space free of any ideologies that are inherently hateful.

I have seen enough to know that anything maga has no place in any community I wish to be a part of. It does not deserve to be taken seriously. It does not deserve a platform. It should be treated as the revolting, thinly veiled, fascism that it is.

Anything less would be an insult to those that are harmed most by Trump’s actions.

Personally, I think supporting fascism is more than enough reason for me to want you gone.

yes

I disagree with the sentiment that it can’t be a useful term simply because you haven’t found a peer reviewed study describing the phenomenon. I would like to see more research be done, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m seeing the issue directly in front of my eyes.

I do think it’s fair to describe it as a men’s issue. Because its usually describing loneliness caused by a disconnect with the image of masculinity you’ve been taught, and that which you actually exhibit. Everyone struggles with loneliness, but this is a specific kind of loneliness that is worth discussing in isolation.

My main issue with it is how a lot of men seem to think its referring to women not wanting them. It’s a very easy term to feed their persecution complex.

You mean monster energy targets their branding and advertising to people who are more likely to buy their products? Unbelievable /s

I don’t know why we’re acting like young poor white men haven’t always been the main demographic for this drink.
